We start the celebration with part 1 of episode 500 by beaming it directly into your ears with Kevin, guests Bobgar (@slurmo), and Dan (@leafinsectman). After some sorting out some of our international differences they talk some comics for a bit at least. Tangents do occur but Dan is cognizant to have no danglers.
